Read, learn and have fun at the Library while earning weekly rewards!
From June 7 to July 26, kids and families are invited to read books and enjoy fun learning activities at the Library. Track your progress by coloring in each challenge week’s icons – one icon for each book read or hour spent learning. Bring your log to any Miami-Dade Public Library System location to claim your weekly reward (while supplies last).
Participants will be automatically entered into a grand prize drawing at the end of the challenge for a chance to win even more great prizes!
Keep reading over the summer to prevent learning loss and have fun while doing it!
Reading for just 20 minutes a day, listening to books and exploring new topics through online educational games can help prevent summer learning loss and set kids up for success in the new school year.
Parents and caregivers can also help stop the summer slide by reading in front of their children. It sets a good example for children who tend to read more when they see adults in their lives doing the same.
Reading Boosts Happiness
It’s like a mini-vacation for your mind!
